<p>I am sure there are others...these are the ones I can remember.</p>

<p>Please be honest and tell me what I need to work on...I know the ACT needs improvements, but anything else would help.</p>

<p>You don’t have a bad application, but you will need ACT’s in the low 30s to be competitive.</p>

<p>What is the deal about how WF doesnt require ACT scores??? Is this just a marketing tool to get more applicants???</p>

<p>

Pretty much. It is working too. Although, I do like to think it has some humanitarian basis, but it certainly has driven the number of applicants up.</p>

<p>29/30 on the ACT and you should be good.</p>

<p>If you do not get that high…just do not turn a test score in. Do an interview though. Overall, I think you have a solid application…great GPA and pretty solid ECs.</p>

<p>Good job at being a great HS student!</p>

<p>Thanks guys!!!</p>

<p>wake forest recognizes that the SAT is not a good indicator of college success and that is why they made it optional. though i’m pretty sure most people sent SAT or ACT scores, I definitely didn’t and was accepted.</p>
